Thanks, Jan. Ditto on the neuro-ophthalmologist. When the first neurologist I saw dismissed me, I saw one and, after a thorough eye exam, he said that I had MG. They have specialized tests to show double vision (which kind) and why.

I saw ophthalmologists my entire life, as we all do, and not one of them "saw" my ptosis. I've had it since birth or shortly thereafter. I was misdiagnosed at age ten with lazy eye (yes, I've had MG that long).

MG can be beyond an ophthalmologist's realm of knowledge. Which is silly, really, since it's pretty obvious when eyelids are drooping and they do know what the differential is for that!

And an N-O can also figure out the monocular issue.

If you say where you live, maybe someone can refer you to one!
